Abstract

L'intégration de métaux antimicrobiens, tels que des sels d'argent, dans un revêtement anticorrosion confère une excellente protection antimicrobienne et améliore aussi de façon étonnante l'activité anticorrosion, ce qui permet de former des revêtements anticorrosion efficaces comme films minces qui conviennent pour l'enrobage de dispositifs médicaux. Les polymères de liaison appropriés pour un tel revêtement comprennent notamment, mais pas exclusivement, des polyélectrolytes contenant des groupes chargés et/ou pouvant potentiellement être chargés et des polymères contenant des entités hydrophiles.
